Attention all summer communications interns! Here are four tips to help you thrive this summer and throughout your blossoming careers. 🙋Constantly ask questions: Don't be afraid to seek guidance on specific tasks. Your colleagues don’t expect you to know everything from the start, and many view asking questions as a sign of eagerness to learn.   ✍️Know where your skills can be applied: Consider how your prior education and work experience can be applied to your current tasks. Take note of specific instances in which you can apply these skills as you advance.   🤔Understand the "why": There’s a difference between simply completing a task and truly understanding why it’s being done. Learning the purpose enables you to leverage that knowledge to complete the task in the most effective way possible.   🎯Step out of your comfort zone: Setting high standards for yourself and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone will help you grow professionally.   💬If you’ve been a summer intern before, share some of your personal tips below! #interns #comms #pr #agencylife

Happy Interns Day! I spoke with one of my clients about the interns she has working with her this summer and she told me about a question she asked each of them recently. She asked each of them what they hadn't worked on yet but wanted to before the end of the summer. I think this is such an important thing to find out. Remember, you have the ability to help a young person determine their future path right now. Talk to your interns. Ask questions. Find out what they love and don't love. You never know, you may be talking to your future best employee. #internsday #edistoconsultinggroup #nowhiring

"No one has ever offered this before" during this time of year (intern/fellowship hiring season) I hear this sentence over and over. When I created the Internship program here at the team I instituted something I thought was pretty simple. If during the interview process a candidate spoke to our team and didn't get the role they could request time to get actual feedback. We would gather feedback from anyone the candidate spoke to and spend time answering questions. Not in an email but actually talking to you. This process occasionally led to another job at the team- if the candidate takes the time to ask for feedback it means a lot. When Inclusion and Culture took over all front office hiring we expanded this practice to most of those hires as well. It takes time, adds hours to the end of a recruiting process but is our mission of creating fans for life in action. We can't hire everyone but we can try to help you along your journey.

What can you expect from an Informa Connect internship? Earlier this summer, we welcomed our second round of interns from 10,000 Black Interns 🎉 Four interns embarked on an eight-week journey across Informa Connect to learn more about what life is like in roles such as internal communications, HR, and audience development. From experiencing world class live events to brushing up on presentation skills, there were plenty of opportunities to make an impact.

We’re celebrating National Intern Day with H5's #OneOfAKIND summer interns, Natalie and Colin. In just one month, these superstars have demonstrated a love for PR and immersed themselves in all things H5, from staffing client events to rocking media relations. When asked about their time at H5, Colin and Natalie shared their experiences through the lens of H5’s core values. ⭐ Kindness: “From the second we walked into the office, the team welcomed us with open arms. Getting to know everyone in the work environment and on a personal level has been valuable for our young professional careers.” ⭐ Creativity: “Agency H5’s foundation of open-mindedness allows us to feel not only comfortable but encouraged to share our ideas.” ⭐ Integrity: “H5 creates a space for new employees to learn and grow. They have proven that mistakes can lead to redirection and that redirection pushes growth.” ⭐ Passion: “The teams we have been a part of have brought a passionate energy to everything they do. We’ve found that H5’ers are just as excited to teach us as we are to learn.” ⭐ Hustle: “Being a part of an environment where teammates take initiative and have a “yes, and” attitude motivates us to bring our bests selves to work.” #NationalInternDay #AgencyLife

Here’s the thing: you probably were qualified for that position. But you probably weren’t hired because companies are: 1) hiring less qualified personnel internally, 2) eliminating the position to throw the responsibilities onto someone else, 3) hiring through word-of-mouth (someone they know), 4) hiring overqualified individuals for a fraction of their worth (someone was asking for less), 5) hiring people who got to volunteer/intern (discriminating against people who had to work a 9-5, make ends meet, couldn’t afford a free or $15/hr internship, or couldn’t risk the lack of job security a 1-3 month internship entails), 6) they were never hiring to begin with.
